Human-sounding speech,
at machine speed.
Parexa is the voice layer for products that talk. Text to speech in 75 languages, transcription, and a drop-in API built for production.
Why Parexa
Everything you need to make software speak.
One API, one key, one bill. No voice-clone upsells, no seat pricing, no feature you have to negotiate for.
322 voices, 75 languages
Every major accent, from en-US Aria to ja-JP Nanami. Native pronunciation, not transliteration.
From $0.0025 / 1k chars
Up to 32× cheaper than ElevenLabs and 40× cheaper than MiniMax. No seats, no watermarks, no surprise fees.
Drop-in API
Two POST requests and you are live. Bearer auth, JSON in, audio out — or multipart audio in, text out.
Speech to text included
Transcribe uploads up to 25MB in 100+ languages with the same key, on every paid plan.
Built for global products
Switch accent per request. Same sentence, 75 locales — one voice layer for your entire app.
Clean audio, commercial use
No watermark, no attribution requirement, no per-platform licensing games. Ship it.
The API
One request. Natural audio.
Bearer auth, JSON in, audio bytes out. Change the voice name to change the accent — same request, 75 locales. Transcription and voice listing use the same key.
